I think you'll see more and more people using it as we move forward. Since Oracle has fumbled Java so badly, C# has become a viable option for multiplatform development. Microsoft seems more than happy to support Xamarin, Mono, Unity, etc. on their quest to build open-source libraries for the CLR.

If you're talking about multiplatform development, Python has a metric shiat ton going for it.
